Proceeds to benefit research for PANS/PANDAS in honor of the Tong family. 

PANS stands for Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome. This is an autoimmune disorder that occurs very suddenly in children. PANS occurs when an infectious trigger, environmental factors, and other possible triggers create a misdirected immune response resulting in inflammation on a child’s brain. In turn, the child quickly begins to exhibit life changing symptoms such as OCD, severe restrictive eating,  anxiety, tics, personality changes, decline in math and handwriting abilities, sensory sensitivities, and more. 

PANS/PANDAS is a newly diagnosed syndrome, and lots of research is still being done in pursuit of a cure,  and the Brookfield chapter of NHS wishes to help raise money to aid in that pursuit.
